BREAKING. Presenter Peter Davies back with SuperSport!


You're reading it here first. The award-winning presenter Peter Davies is back with SuperSport. Peter joined America's ESPN sport network two years ago, but will be back on the air for SuperSport from this weekend already.

The cricket specialist will be involved in the England tour of South Africa and will provide expert analysis on the English Premiership and Champions League Football.

Peter was the host of Atlantic Sports Center, an spin-off show from ESPN Sport Center.  ''It was a fantastic, a once-in-a-lifetime experience to sample work and life in another culture,'' he says. ''It was also a great environment for my family.''

''The ESPN experience wasn't without its challenges, not least trying to produce a show intended for South Africans from a little town [Bristol, Connecticut] 10 000 km away.''

He says it was impossible not to be impressed by the scale of operations at ESPN. State-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge technology were at the heart of the business.

''The American work ethic was especially impressive, but I’ve no doubt that a lot of people at SuperSport could work there.''
